Mark 8:32

Mark 8:32
Jesus told his disciples about this where they could all hear him. Peter takes him aside to issue his rebuke. What is happening here is the devil seazing upon misunderstanding in the heart of Peter. Thus, thinking Jesus is just being pessimistic, and missing the part about rising again, Peter feels it his duty to set things straight. Ah, and how often does a well-meaning person fall prey to this trickery!

Heavenly Father, thank you for protection from the evil one. You will keep us from being destroyed by the enemy if we will find our strength in you. May we never forget that you are the perfect Source for all that is good in our lives. You always have the best plan. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
